Description

The Expando dynamic bean handler is currently unable to support overriding default methods of Object, such as hashCode, equals and toString. This is quite useful if multiple expando objects are to be placed in a map or list, or if you wish to customize the output generated when printing the object.

Included is a simple patch for this purpose. The included testcase illustrates its usage.
